Ms. Coleman presented the updated expenditure report.

The total operation fund is (Fund 11000 General) amount is ($90,931.47)

Hoping for good news in January when the new unit value comes out—there will be a slight reduction, which will increase the deficit.

Did not meet their growth numbers, so no growth dollars will be added.

Mr. Garcia asked if progress is being made. Mr. Moya responded that he does believe progress is being made by the mere fact that $300,000 in over expenditures has been mitigated towards this deficit. Mr. Moya is cautiously optimistic when the doors are opened next year at 21st Century with a $90,000 deficit—it will be far easier to deal with than a $300,000 deficit.

Ms. Tarango discussed the enrollment—finished close to 266—currently at 260. The plan for next year’s budget is to average a 260 enrollment.
